Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois annual tasting, the 2015 Cissac (which curiously I did not taste during en primeur) has a well-defined bouquet with lifted blackberry and undergrowth notes. I would have preferred more intensity but it is charming and precise. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, quite edgy in style with crisp tannins and vivid black, cedar-infused fruit toward the finish. Enjoy this Cissac over the next decade.
Warm spices and hints of mocha on the nose with a wealth of dark, ripe cherries and blackberries. The depth on the palate is impressive. Tannins are boldly stated and carve deep. Very satisfying power here.
